Matthieu,
Admiring your build …again, I had a few questions that I thought might assist me when I start my build:
1. This was all OOB? Did you wish you would have used any aftermarket products?
2. You choose not to display the engine and gun bays. Any thoughts on that?
3. The weathering was fantastic and it looks like you have dusty wings. How did you do that?
4. What brand of paints were used for the exterior?
5. Any notes on how you did your photos? They are fantastic as well.

Thanks for your time and again, fantastic model! Congratulations.

Mathieu
Hi @Paul Morre.
Thank you very much for the kind words, and popping this build full of fond memories into my feed.
Glad to read you gonna start a Pony (BBD as well ?)

1. Aftermarket used: The barracuda cockpit goodies (decals and sidewalls) One heavily modded Yahu panel, and the HGW filmless stencils
2. The gun bays are not shown in the final pics but still accessible. Engine, I wish I had opted earlier to not show it, I would have ended with a better cowling adjustment. The engine is georgous, but the Mustang often displays awesome nose arts, wich imo are more eye catchers than the displayed merlin.
3. Splattered almost anything liquid that felt under my hand. The in progress album shows it more in detail.
4. Tamiya's LP, awesome metallic effect, and absorb punishment and weathering without damaging.
5. My wifes Fuji with a macro objective. She does cooking photography better than me doing models pictures with that stuff. taking the time to pose the pictures also helped.

Looking forward to your Mustang !
Cheers.
